No results found.The risk that the high level in hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition will continue is particularly high today, considering the modest level of global economic growth forecast for 2024 and persisting conflicts, crisis, and climate variability and extremes. This paper discusses the interconnected issues of hunger and poverty. It presents an overview of hunger across regions; forecasts for the global cereal supply to 2023/2024 as well as to 2032; and identifies investment needs in agrifood systems. In doing so, it highlights some key areas for intervention to bring the world closer to Zero Hunger by 2030. This technical note was produced at the request of the G20 Pesidency of Brazil to inform G20 delegates' deliberations on the establishment of a Global Alliance Against Hunger. -

No results found.Science and technology have played a vital role in keeping agricultural production a step ahead of rapid global population growth during the past four decades. However, Green Revolution technologies did not benefit the vast rainfed and other marginal areas with high concentrations of hunger and poverty. The new farming technologies were also not friendly to the environment, often resulting in degradation of land, water and biodiversity. The region needs to step up agricultural production by 80 p ercent by the year 2030 to meet its growing food needs. However, because there is very little room for expanding the area under farm cultivation most of this increase will need to come from making existing farmland more productive. This publication examines the agrobiophysical, socio-economic and environmental status of farming systems in Asia-Pacific and the role that science and technology will be called on to play in “breaking the unholy alliance of hunger, poverty and environmental degradati on”. -
